Brooks #27 is a numbered Prairie apple linked to the Brooks program and listed as a standard apple in an alphabetized reference of hardy apples [S1]. Parentage is not provided [S1]. The catalog line gives a 1937 reference, while Smithfield says it was introduced in 1927, so the release timing is uncertain [S1].
Its fruit is described as 6 cm, green with red overlay, and good for dessert use [S1]. It is also said to keep well after harvest [S1]. The same records add a sharp negative note that it was poor quality and too tender, so practical judgment is mixed [S1].
Tree information is brief: it is described as fair vigor [S1]. No detailed disease, pruning, bearing, or productivity guidance is provided in this source packet [S1].
Brooks #27 is coded ST, meaning a standard apple size class of 5 cm or more, and is rated H2, interpreted as moderately hardy [S1]. The same source package also notes Erskine recommending it while recording Coutts’ criticism, so field judgments were not consistent [S1].
